45x Lesser Ward of Shielding – 45 Adamantite Bar

The recipe is sold by Rohok (Horde) at Hellfire Peninsula and by Mari Stonehand (Alliance) at Shadowmoon Valley. It’s a limited supply item, so you have to wait if someone bought it before you. (15-60min respawn time).

It’s green for the last 5 points, so 45 is an approximate number. You might need to make more or fewer.

WotLK Classic Blacksmithing (350-450)

You can learn the new WotLK Classic Blacksmithing skill from these NPCs below. (Requires level 65)

Horde:

Alliance:

Both factions can also learn it from Alard Schmied at Dalaran.

350 – 416

416 – 425

13x Eternal Belt Buckle – 52 Saronite Bar, 13 Eternal Earth, 13 Eternal Water, 13 Eternal Shadow

There are cheaper alternative recipes that you can make but Eternal Belt Buckle is a very useful item, so you can sell all of them and get most of your gold back.

The recipe will be yellow for the last 5 points, so you might have to make more.

425 – 430

7x Titanium Weapon Chain – 14 Saronite Bar, 7 Titanium Bar

The recipe will be yellow, so you might have to make more.

430 – 435

5x Daunting Handguards – 60 Saronite Bar, 5 Eternal Earth

435 – 445

17x Daunting Legplates – 238 Saronite Bar, 17 Eternal Earth

This recipe will be yellow between 60-70, so you probably have to make more than 15, usually 17-19. You can also make any other armor that requires 14x Saronite Bar and 1x Eternal Water/Fire/Shadow, but Eternal Earth is usually the cheapest.

445 – 450

17x Daunting Legplates – 238 Saronite Bar, 17 Eternal Earth

You will still be making the Daunting Legplates, but the recipe will be green, which means the number of items crafted will vary from person to person.
